Did you hear the great news!? IDEA is now a group on Facebook! Much like MySpace, LiveJournal, and Twitter, Facebook is a form of online social networking (sometimes referred to as "online communities"). The term “social networking” is not new, especially in the business arena. In short, it conveys the idea that professional and/or personal relationships can be an important resource in the development of any opportunity. The internet simply takes the concepts of social networking to a powerful platform, giving individuals significant exposure and greater access to a global audience.In our IDEA session, It’s URLife, Make it a Healthy WWWone! the importance of online social networking and its influence on the health and fitness business will be addressed. What social networks currently exist? Does it cost anything to join? Is there a community for fitness professionals exclusively?
The good news is that most online communities are absolutely FREE to join and can be incredibly easy to navigate, even for the technically un-inclined. The hard part is determining which community will best suit your personal or professional needs.
I find it really encouraging that IDEA is supporting an online community for our health and fitness professionals. And if you are already a Facebook member, be sure to add me (‘Biray Alsac’) as your friend!! If you’re not networking online – what are you waiting for??

Absolutely amazing - the highlight of the whole convention, and the convention was great. Worth every hour of the 14hr flight to get here. Great job girls.
